I hate to complain about work so much, but I can’t help it. Of the 4+ part timers they hired last week, I think at least 1 or 2 of them quit already. Possibly more. And one of our existing part timers will be starting on maintenance soon, so that’s one less person. Plus all of the people that haven’t been at work much for a long time… we’re always really shorthanded.

Last night, I was asked to come into work an hour early - to help unload a truck and haul freight to the floor. There were two huge trailers, and only 2 unloaders working. They’ve been shorthanded as well (I went in early, partly for selfish reasons, because I knew the Paper/Chemicals department - where I usually work - would be swamped with freight, and getting started early would be better). But whenever we hire someone, either someone else leaves, or they quit soon after. Still, work has been getting slightly better again. Trying to make them stop doing stupid shit, to at least make things tolerable.

Anyway… I’ll try not to bitch about work so much in the future :)

I sometimes wonder what the audience of this weblog is. I’ve only told a handful of people specifically about it. And not any family. My sister at least knows of my LJ, although I don’t know how often she reads it. She’s been posting more often there lately. Not that it helps me get any idea of what she does from day to day :) I try to post more thoughtful and/or personal things in this weblog, not my LJ. I’m not sure why, really. Maybe because this is on my own server, and has my real name more a part of it (the domain name).

I still haven’t played my Gamecube very much. Not sure why - I guess I’ve been too lazy to go downstairs to play on the TV there. I should either get a small TV for up here, or hook it up to my computer (via my TV card). It’s more comfortable playing games in my room, and not the living room. And I have some cool games for it. And my Dreamcast too, for that matter.

I don’t spend enough time having fun anymore. Haven’t done much in months, really. I’m getting sick of that. I need to meet more people around here. But that’s hard when you work weekends (that hopefully should change in a month or two). It would be really nice to find a girlfriend again. There are some cute girls that work days, that I wouldn’t mind getting to know better. And a few of them are familiar from years ago, that I used to know. That could help :) But I’m just too shy sometimes, hard to meet people out of the blue like that. I’ve been quite direct at times in the past, but that’s not the norm for me.
